Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?
What’s the best way to spend time with a musician when they visit a city to perform? And when the musician in question has a great deal to say, what sort of concert do you organise to do justice to that?
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Listening to people listening to their own homes. Musicians and actors will listen back to recordings made in local peoples homes on headphones, and interpret/ translate what they are hearing.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
